Circuits Assembly Online Magazine - Aqueous Technologies Introduces New Evaporators

Aqueous Technologies Corp. (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) has announced the introduction of a series of evaporators: Model AQ-7, Model AQ-12 and Model AQ-12G.

The evaporators are available in either a natural gas or propane-heated configuration, or as an electric model. Typical applications include minimizing wastewater from machining operations, parts washing equipment, compressor condensate, mop water, die cast solutions and many other water-based wastestreams.

Installation of the series is simple. Model AQ-7 requires an electrical service and a 6 in. vent stack. Model AQ-12 requires an electrical connection and a 10 in. diameter vent stack. Model AQ-12G requires a 110 VAC electrical connection, a ¾ in. standard pressure gas line and a 10 in. exhaust stack. The units can be filled using three different methods: plumbing the feed source into the supplied coupling on top of the unit; removing the lid and manually fill the unit; or using the optional 70 GPM self-priming fill pump.

After an initial heat up time of approximately one hour, the units will evaporate at rates between 5-7 GPH or 12-17 GPH, depending on the model.

The evaporators will shut down automatically via a low-level control. A secondary high-temperature shutoff is also provided. When a cycle is completed, the waste material can be drained via a 2 in. drain opening, vacuumed out of the unit via the removable lid with a wet/dry vacuum or pump, or, for solid materials, scooped out. To facilitate cleanout, the interior tank of the AQ-12G is sloped toward a 2 in. outlet. Additionally, its u-shaped burner tube is located around the perimeter of the process tank, allowing access between the tubes.

Each evaporator in the series features a heavy-duty 12-gauge tank, covers and stack. Additionally, the series offers adjustable burners (NG or Propane) with electronic ignition, flame rectification system and, on the AQ-12G only, an air-pressure sensor. Automatic shutoffs, two-switch on/off operation, removable lid for fast and easy cleanout, fully insulated tanks, power exhaust for outdoor venting and polyurethane finish also come standard.
